I believe the deal is the NFL gives a city a Super Bowl as a reward for helping to pay for a new/refurbished stadium under these conditions: you get a SB for a new stadium without a dome if you are in a city with what passes for warm weather in early February (Florida/Texas/Arizona/California); or you get a SB if you are in a colder climate but the new stadium is domed (Detroit/apparently KC - it can get cold there in February).

That is nice for the city but forcing fans to party down in SB sites like Jacksonville certainly puts business ahead of the fans.

I didn't know about the new stadium in Arizona. Is it being built right by the old stadium or a whole new place? I think Extreme Engineering is on discovery channel and I have never seen the stadium one so I'll have to watch for it. Peace.

That looks awesome! That stadium is amazing with all of it's features. It's amazing to me though that a city would build a brand new beautiful stadium for a losing team. Last time I could ever remember the cardinals were never good. Do they still have diehard fans? In football it would seem an oxymoron to say "I'm an arizona cardinals fan." I don't know though.

They may not have a large fan base but forcing them to sit out in the AZ heat in the sun wasnt exactally helping. This new stadium will definatley help that even if it is just people comming out to see the new stadium. Its a step in the right direction, they lead the league in passing so they are comming on, with their cap situation they have the ability to jump to a wild card in the NFC were the middle level teams are so close...

Yeah me any my roommate were talking about the cardinals and their new stadium as well as the team and he said their team and coaching is getting better and had they not had so many injuries this year they would have done better. We'll see how many fans come out when they start to get better. hopefully they won't be as bad as the bengals fans.
